We're waiting for a news conference to start in Albany for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to accept a report from his newest tax commission.

The first commission released its report last month. This one, co-chaired by former Gov. Roger Pataki and former Comptroller Carl McCall, is expected to recommend tying property taxes to income and repealing a business energy tax.

The news conference announcing the report is being live streamed on the governor's website.

The commission is also expected to recommend that homeowners get a property tax rebate, as long as their municipalities don't exceed the property tax cap.
